What is life?

Last week I attended the British Teilhard Association conference in London Colney and I am pleased to say that I have been appointed to the Executive Committee of the British Teilhard Association!

The last few weeks have been so busy that I never really got the chance to update my blog. I found the following quotation written in one of my Peru notebooks:

"Life, in fact, is not a partial, limited property of matter, analogous to some vibratory or molecular effect: it is rather a sort of inverse of everything that habitually serves us as a definition of matter." Human Energy p. 21

Reading this it comes as no surprise that Teilhard has been a great source of inspiration for me.

About the blog

I have been writing this blog for over ten years. I tend to be quite eclectic in my range of interests and you will see that the subjects vary from Heaven by George Herbert to Curious George. The main reason I started writing this blog was to get my view across that the reviews we see in the papers come from the literary establishment. Writers who review books by their friends and this does not mean that the reviews are accurate. Along the way I got distracted, I even added some of my artwork but I hope you enjoy reading it. My favourite post is from January 2005 -English literature and geology do mix!- You should search it out.
